African Economic Outlook 2015 sets the stage

The launch of the African Economic Outlook 2015 opened the 50th AfDB Annual Meetings in Abidjan on Monday, May 25. Among the key recommendations of this year’s joint AfDB-OECD-UNDP publication: empowering youth, unlocking domestic financing and modernising economies.


Fifty years on, and from a very modest beginning, the AfDB has grown in stature and maturity, in brand and credibility.

It is important to remember that the so-called “New Africa” is made up of 54 countries in five regions. Africa is not a single monolithic whole. The only safe generalisation is that Africa is planning, managing and starting to finance its own destiny.

- Donald Kaberuka, AfDB President
